Park and Loop query???
I was wondering what the frames will be like next week as i'm a sat. worker - my manager has told me that i will be driving with a fellow colleague and that i won't be going my usual walk duty...She told everything will be sorted when ii get in next week - will the frames be one big one or will it just consist of two walks just as a team?

There will be 2 duties and you'll have 1 BIG frame each

Surely you have an idea of the new walk you are doing because you took part in an office P&L resign?

Try and take a signed for sheet with you as the PDA's have a habit of running out of charge or decide to reboot whilst your at a customers door. No matter how many times you hand them the PDA the customers always turn them around and press all the buttons!karchun wrote:For the trolley - yes, basic open and close mechanism and the manager said they'll teach me the pda on saturday!!motherhubbard wrote:Have you had any training on any new equipment?karchun wrote:Ermm...No idea - as i'm a saturday part time worker i'm not given info that often :( I told my manager to give me the streets i'll be doing but told i'll be told when i get in on saturdayIloveMYredTROLLEY! wrote:Surely you have an idea of the new walk you are doing because you took part in an office P&L resign?

Wouldn't it be more annoying to use the pda due to its size???Stormproof wrote: Try and take a signed for sheet with you as the PDA's have a habit of running out of charge or decide to reboot whilst your at a customers door.

If you've been trained on how to use it and you have been issued your pin number you have to use it. Just make sure you take a card with you as a back up.karchun wrote:Wouldn't it be more annoying to use the pda due to its size???Stormproof wrote: Try and take a signed for sheet with you as the PDA's have a habit of running out of charge or decide to reboot whilst your at a customers door.

Re: Park and Loop query???
Also with the trolleys make sure you have some bag clips so you can fasten the bags to the trolleys either side .Put the packets in one and mail in the other is the best way

If you're just popping up some steps to deliver,just make sure the trolley pouches are zipped up,tbf they should always be zipped up anyway.karchun wrote:Also how do i post - sounds stupid but i'm only use to one pouch/one bundle method - will i have to drag the trolley everywhere i go - and also would this pose as a danger because say as i'm posting but the house is up a few steps - i will have to leave the whole trolley exposed wouldn't i??
If you have to go into flats then the trolley needs to be zipped up and padlocks used,then the trolley needs to be chained up to something.
This kind of stuff especially if you have to leave the trolley unattended should of been sorted during the revision.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
